On Tuesday, February 1, RedBike is expanding its footprint to South Beach. In addition to its locations in Brickell and Midtown, RedBike will now be hosting outdoor classes on the rooftop of the Faena Bazaar.

To celebrate the opening, RedBike is offering complimentary classes all week long, from Tuesday, February 1 through Tuesday, February 7. To sign up, riders can create an account online and book their bikes based on availability.

Miami native and RedBike founder, Albert Ghitis, adapted his business model during the pandemic to include outdoor classes to cater to his clients’ needs and comfort levels.

"Since opening our first outdoor studio in Brickell, we realized there is a huge demand for more outdoor classes," said Ghitis. “When given the chance to partner with Faena Bazaar, we jumped at the opportunity because both of our brands attract a similar, young, hip demographic that prioritizes health and wellness. Our new South Beach home will also have ocean views and a nice breeze, giving riders a safe and scenic alternative."  

Ghitis founded RedBike with the belief that fitness could be fun, and he’s ready to bring the same high-energy workout from his indoor studios to the Faenza Bazaar rooftop. The rhythm-based rides are 45 minutes long and incorporate a few minutes of strengthening arm exercises. Ghitis is also bringing RedBike’s lead instructors to teach at South Beach.
